On Tupperware

Okay, so I'm showing my age. . . that's okay.  At one time, Tupperware was a prized possession in every kitchen.  I still have - and use - several pieces from "way back", okay, I'll be honest. . . in the early 1970's.

Then I noticed some years back that the price of Tupperware had risen substantially.  Without realizing it, I went from buying Tupperware to Rubbermaid and then silicone. . . much cheaper and good quality, long lasting products.  I once thought nothing would ever replace metal collanders.  I now have a great set of three silicone collanders in varying sizes that I use all the time.  They collapse for storing.

Today I noticed on a news website that Tupperware is closing its last US production plant and moving everything to Mexico.  That, alone, would stop me from buying Tupperware.  But then I went on the Tupperware website, something I haven't done in quite a few years.  Have you looked at the current array of products???  The few items I might consider were way overpriced.

It's sad, really. Tupperware was the Gold Standard at one time.
